Colorado offensive linemen Daniel Munyer, Jeromy Irwin remain out

BOULDER — Colorado offensive linemen Daniel Munyer (fractured tibia) and Jeromy Irwin (foot) have yet to practice and Irwin may red-shirt. He was expected to challenge for the left guard job and can also play tackle.

He is out indefinitely and coach Mike MacIntyre said they’ll likely make a decision on his future during the open date Sept. 21.

“He has a redshirt year,” MacIntyre said. “That’s the bright side of it. The other side of it is we need him.”

Munyer, a potential starter at guard, has run the last two days and MacIntyre said he could return early next week. Until then the guards and centers are rotating at both positions.
